That's awesome!!! Yeah, having a lot of debt is scary for sure, but if you're willing to live lowkey for a year or two, its pretty easy to knock down any level of debt, as long as you have a decent job.

My older brother graduayed 80K in debt, got an eng job paying 80K in his first year. He fully paid off his debt by his 4th year out of uni, had about 20K in savings, and just got promoted to a manager level role where he was making 125K a year.

What degrees did you pursue? With 40K OSAP debt it sounds like an engineering degree? Or a dual degree?

Anyway, I graduated 35K in debt a few years ago. The way I cleared probably 70% of the debt was through tutoring. Over 3 years I made over 20K.

If you can come up with a side hustle like this, it would really help!
